aws-advisor

Expert AWS Cloud Advisor for architecture design, security review, and implementation guidance. Leverages AWS MCP tools for accurate, documentation-backed answers. Use when user asks about AWS architecture, security, service selection, migrations, troubleshooting, or learning AWS. Triggers on AWS, Lambda, S3, EC2, ECS, EKS, DynamoDB, RDS, CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform, Serverless, SAM, IAM, VPC, API Gateway, or any AWS service. Do NOT use for non-AWS cloud providers or general infrastructure without AWS context.

Quality

Content

65%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is well-organized with good progressive disclosure and concrete examples, but it leans slightly verbose in places and its workflows omit explicit validation checkpoints, capping workflow clarity.

Suggestions

Add explicit validation/review checkpoints to the Architecture Review and Security Review workflows (e.g., 'Review generated checklist with user before applying', 'Verify IAM policy syntax before output').

Remove editorial padding from code-example captions ('Great for rapid serverless development', 'Best for complex infra...') to tighten token efficiency.

Move the pinned runtime version 'nodejs20.x' out of inline examples or note it as a placeholder, since specific version numbers are time-sensitive and risk staleness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient with well-structured tables, but includes some unnecessary editorial padding ('Great for rapid serverless development', 'Best for complex infra') and hard-codes a time-sensitive runtime version ('nodejs20.x') outside any deprecated-patterns section.

3 / 5

Actionability

Provides mostly executable IaC code examples and concrete MCP tool references with a clear topic-selection table; minor gaps in that script invocations are named but not given as full runnable commands.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Workflows (Standard, Architecture Review, Security Review) are clearly sequenced but lack explicit validation checkpoints or feedback loops between script-generated outputs and user review.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Clear overview body with well-signaled one-level-deep references to real bundle files (references/mcp-guide.md, decision-trees.md, checklists.md) and a scripts table, each with load-when guidance.

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is strong: concrete capabilities, comprehensive natural trigger terms, explicit 'what' and 'when' guidance, and a clear negative boundary. Minor specificity gaps prevent a perfect specificity score.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists several concrete capabilities ('architecture design, security review, and implementation guidance', 'documentation-backed answers') but stops short of a fully comprehensive action list, leaving minor gaps in coverage.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (expert AWS advisor for architecture/security/implementation) and 'when' ('Use when user asks about...', 'Triggers on...'), plus a negative boundary clause.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural terms including service names and synonyms users actually say ('AWS, Lambda, S3, EC2, ECS, EKS, DynamoDB, RDS, CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform, Serverless, SAM, IAM, VPC, API Gateway').

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear AWS-specific niche with explicit exclusion ('Do NOT use for non-AWS cloud providers or general infrastructure without AWS context'), minimizing conflict risk.
